According to uniquenutrition.net:L-Huperzine A is a natural plant alkaloid (extracted from Huperzia serrata), which quickly and potently boosts memory, learning, and concentration. Used worldwide for decades in adults and high school students. Is considered the most potent short term memory enhancer available.

I'm somewhat familiar with LifeMirage's position on Hup A because I've been researching this substance extensively... however most of his posts supporting its use are from 2008. LM, has your view on Hup A changed at all? I know you say you've prescribed it to over 5,000 patients over the duration of your career as a MD. Do you still regard it as safe despite the warnings?

A user on Longecity put together a comprehensive post with sources concerning the dangers of Huperzine A use. I would link to it but because my post count is so low, I can't.

LM... are you still advocating its usage now the same way you did in 2008? Any new safety concerns?

Itīs been a while since last time LM posted here so I donīt think you are getting an answer, at least a public one.I am a usual lurker of Longecity and I linked that thread here in BM once at least. AChEIs are some of the most potent nootropics I have tried and because of that I pay them respect. For me they are a tool for special occasions and not a daily or chronic supp.It would be really interesting to know LM response to your question but for me the dangers are there and are not meant to be ignored.

I appreciate your response. I think I will proceed with caution but I do intend to experiment with it. I suppose any detrimental effects won't be immediately perceptible. Instead of lurking at Longecity, you should register and contribute!

I didn't realize LM stopped posting around here. I thought he was a moderator? Isn't he duty-bound to respond to me?

Is Galantamine any safer in this respect or does it pose the same threats being that it is also an AChEI?

LM did some extensive work here but he couldnīt scape the doubts about him or simply got bored and stopped posting. In these years his work has become dusty and outdated but is anyway a good reading for those who want to learn about nootropics and supps.
